WASHINGTON (AP) – The Latest on campaign 2016 (all times Eastern Standard Time):

10:15 a.m.

Republican presidential candidate Ted Cruz says that if Donald Trump were to “go out on Fifth Avenue and shoot somebody,” he would not support him as the party’s nominee.

But speaking at a press conference in Rockford, Illinois Monday, Cruz refused to acknowledge the possibility that Trump would win the nomination, with just one day to go until a crucial cluster of winner-take-all primaries.

Instead, Cruz offered his own worst-case scenarios for what a Trump nomination would do to the party and the country.
